DJ Case developed TrapperEd.org to meet the requirements of first-time trappers in many states and Canadian provinces. The online course, which is based on the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies' Trapping Best Management Practices (BMPs), covers skills, regulations, and trapping's role in scientific wildlife management. Using video, images, quizzes and exams, the program teaches basic techniques with a strong focus on the responsible treatment of animals, legal methods, safety, selectivity and ethical trapper behavior.
